Turkey has advanced up to 20km into Kurdistan Region, PKK to blame: former Iraqi military chief of staff
2021-05-12
[Rudaw] The Ottoman Turkish military has advanced up to 20 km into the Kurdistan Region, a former Iraqi military chief of staff told Rudaw on Monday, blaming the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) for pulling The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
 into the Kurdistan Region.

"In some places Turkey has advanced 9km, but in others they have advanced up to 15 to 20 km into the Kurdistan Region," Babakir Zebari told Rudaw’s Samia Hassan on Monday, accusing the PKK of having an anti-Kurdistan Region agenda.

"The PKK has clear antagonism against the Kurdistan Region. They have never held back to take the Kurdistan Region, that has been earned through thousands of deaders, away from Kurds," Zebari added. "This is their only goal, wherever there are Ottoman Turkish troops, they go and drag them deep into the Kurdistan Region."

Last year, the Ottoman Turkish presidency released a map saying it has established 37 "military points across the Kurdistan Region.
